This is a small
sampling of my handspun yarn. I spin a
lot, usually 2 or 3 fleeces a year. I
enjoy the process of taking a raw fleece and washing, carding, spinning and
sometimes dyeing. I enjoy spinning
Cormo, Corriedale, Romney and Shetland fleeces. Several of the skeins on this page are Suffolk which I think of as a
meat sheep rather than a spinning sheep. The fleece was a gift and I have
to say I have really enjoyed it. It was
very white and even. I spent a good
portion of the spring spinning it. An
enjoyable task. Sarah and I have been
knitting with it all Fall and Winter and it's almost gone. Most of our recent patterns were knit in this
yarn. I'm in the process of sprinning a
lovely corriedale fleece that I've added a bit of mohair to (for
strength). It was my intent to use it
for socks but it's a little heavy for regular socks but makes wonderful boot
socks. Sarah's working on a pair right
now. Sarah is our self striping queen
and has come up with some lovely combinations. If there's a special combination you're looking for drop us an email and
Sarah can probably create it.
